[ecrea] Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies - new issue: Issue 2.1

Intellect is delighted to announce the issue 2.1 of Journal of Italian 
Cinema & Media Studies.

This special issue, the first in a volume that examines the historical 
and artistic influence of Italian cinema on Asian cinema, features six 
articles that examine the intersections between Italian and Chinese cinemas.
In this issue, Elena Pollacchi explores the influence of Italian 
neorealist tradition on contemporary Chinese film directors, while 
Thomas Chen aims to stimulate discussion on the role of dubbed films as 
translations, focusing on the Italian film Bicycle Thieves. In his 
article, Chen examines the practice of dubbing, the reception of dubbed 
films in the PRC, and the work of censorship in selecting foreign films 
for import.

Xin Liu documents the Chinese reception of Italian director Michelangelo 
Antonioni's documentary Chung Kuo/China (1972). Although Antonioni was 
invited to make the film by the Chinese government, the film was banned 
in 1974, and was not shown again in China until 2004. Stefano Bona also 
examines Chung Kuo, comparing the representation of China in the film to 
that in Gianni Amelio's La stella che non c'è/The Missing Star, made 30 
years later.

Finally, representations of 'Chineseness' and 'Asianness' are examined 
by Eddie Bertozzi in his article that explores Chinese identity in Shun 
Li and the Poet and The Arrival of Wang, while Ivo Ritzer looks at 
representations of 'Asianness' in the Italian Western.
